Syllabus Description (from Canvas):
Taught by Annegret Oehme and Beatrice Arduini, this class explores inflections of cross-cultural interactions in the Middle Ages as well as representations of "Otherness" in various cultural settings and discourses. Students will engage with a wide range of literary texts; explore how diversity and interconnectivity materialize in the contexts of politics, commerce, migration, religion, and similar
philosophical and cultural frameworks; and examine how such ‘modern’ global phenomena, find root in the medieval period, defined here as the pre-1500 centuries. While focusing on German and Italian-speaking areas, we will take a critical view of Eurocentric approaches.
Catalog Description:
Introduces literary works and cultural artifacts from a variety of different traditions, cultures, and periods. Helps students to acquire basic tools for analyzing literature and culture.
